Quickpost: How to add SSL/TLS to WordPress via Cloudflare ☁️ for free

On 08, Jun 2018 | inGeneral | vonJohannes Hoppe

This is not a nice article as usually. But it should help! :-)

  1. wp-config.php change WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL to https://yourdomain. This example uses haushoppe-its.de
  2. Get an account at cloudflare. Add your domain to your account. The free plan is fine. Follow the instructions.
  3. Cloudflare wants you to change your nameserver. Cloudflare is super-cool, you won't regret this. Cloudflare wants elsa.ns.cloudflare.com and ken.ns.cloudflare.com.
  4. Pimp the DNS settings. If you want A records (no “www”), it looks like this. Take care about the proxy setting (orange cloud). You want this for your website, but you definitely do NOT want to break your database.
